If you have your sources updated to 2.2.5, then: cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall make (DON'T "MAKE INSTALL"!) Then, you can install _manually_ the sysintall executable in some directory such as /usr/sbin: install -c -s -o bin -g bin -m 555 sysinstall /usr/sbin You must not replace /stand/sysinstall for the newly generated sysinstall. The files in /stand are "special". --JM ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Jose M.
